A Peek Into Our Busy Nest

Here's a recap of the past 6 months. Yes, it has been SIX MONTHS since our last post. And as I've always heard...no excuses, just results. So here goes:

1. I'm still decorating the apartment. And redecorating. And redecorating some more. After a year of living here, I thought we would be done. Boy was I wrong. Decorating is a hobby, and making things look neat and organized make me feel 10 times better than if I wasn't doing those things. *Updated photos coming soon!

2. Caleb is loving his new job at a certain place in the midst of downtown Mobile. The job switcheroo wasn't something he was expecting, but as always, it ended up turning out just fine.

3. For our July 4 holiday extravaganza, we drove nearly 14 hours to Williamston, NC. It's in the absolute middle of nowhere, but we had a blast visiting Caleb's family anyway. Too bad the only place to spend a "night out on the town" was at the local Wal-Mart...and you all know how much I love rollback land.

Oh, and I can't forget the best part...stopping at Ikea Atlanta on the way home! One of my favorite places to spend money :) I picked up these pillows that only cost me a few bucks a pop!

4. A few weeks, later we were Walkin in Memphis!

5. Fastfoward a few months and we were in Destin, FL, for our one year anniversary! We had so much fun, and watching the hotel catch on fire was just an added bonus to our adventure. On the plus side, we got a free night!

6. We won another $100 gift card to Publix! Just in time to use for the grand opening of the Daphne Publix (that happened today)!

7. As usual, Thanksgiving left us stuffed for a week. We had the Givens Thanksgiving meal on Thursday and the Gruner Thanksgiving meal on Friday. Plus leftovers that seemed like they would never end...

8. Our apartment has finally made its way into Christmas mode. The most wonderful time of the year! What a great time to start updating the good ole' blog. Thanks for the pressure, BFF Emily! *Photos coming soon!

9. We can't forget to mention the cutie in the family...Toby's still his same goofy self.
